On
September 20, 2003, the Organizing Members of the Col. Joseph Hardin Chapter, NSDAR held
the Organizational Meeting and Installation of Officers.
The meeting was held at the Ross House in Savannah, Tennessee. The Chapter Officers and members were sworn in by
Tennessee Second Vice Regent Elizabeth Stoddard.
The Ross
House is the former home of Mrs. Nellie Ross, deceased, a member of the original Col.
Joseph Hardin Chapter, NSDAR. “Miss Nellie” collected DAR plates
throughout her membership and the members of the new chapter were delighted to be able to
use them at the brunch.
The original
Col. Joseph Hardin Chapter, NSDAR in Savannah, TN existed from 1931-1996. The
organizing members of the new chapter felt it appropriate to name the newly formed chapter
after the original Col. Joseph Hardin Chapter.
The Col.
Joseph Hardin Chapter, NSDAR was admitted at the NSDAR Oct. 4, 2003 board meeting in
Washington DC.
